What is Co-Registration
Let’s face it. Marketing your product online is hard. You did not think you would have to go through so much just to get some traffic to your website. The interesting thing is that many people feel the same way. They have created this great product or service but thought that would be the end of it. They had no clue that they had to put in more time marketing their product than they did creating it!
The world of internet marketing can be intimidating to the regular person. There are so many things to consider and there is a lot of competition out there. You may have heard of a few of these internet marketing techniques and might have even tried a few. There is SOE articles, social network, forum building, e-mail lists and reverse marketing. Through all of these methods you can certainly get more traffic to your website.
And the truth is that without web site hits, your product is a dead product. No one will think of buying it if they are not seeing it. Never mind whether or not the product is actually a good one. Aside from the strategies listed above, there is a new one that has just started buzzing that might be a good one for you to try. It is called co-registration.
What is co-registration? Co-registration is simply a more automated way to build e-mail lists. You have likely tried doing this yourself. You started off with a list of family and friends and then possibly even put a script on your sales page where people could opt-in to your list. At a high level, co-registration is a way of adding the option to opt-in for e-mail lists after the customer has already registered or purchased a product somewhere else. Essentially, you try to “piggy back” registration to your site along with others.
How this works is that you first fine other sites or ezines that are related to yours but are not in competition. You then contact the site administrator to see if they would like to participate in co-registration. You will probably remember that after you purchased something online, you were then asked if you wanted to sign up for notifications to other related information. That is co-registration.
While it does take a little work to get in touch and work with other site administrators, you will quickly find that this type of networking will quickly help you build subscriptions and e-mail lists quickly and easily with less work in the long run. Imagine sitting back and watching your list grow and grow. It will be a list you can use at any time to reinforce information about your product or service.
There are many techniques available to building web site traffic and subscription lists, and there are sub-techniques within those. It is important to know the ins and outs of these techniques so that you can maximize your product sales with as little effort as possible. It is all about driving traffic, and co-registration can be a powerful tool to help you with this.
